Thermal-mechanical pre-stress
Testing date: from 2016-03-08 till 2016-03-14
Tests were carried out according to IEC 61952, clause 10.3.1
Three insulators No. 1, 2, 3 were subjected to a mechanical load in two opposite directions and to two
24-hours thermal cycles. The load applied to the insulators corresponded to the MDCL of 11,6 kN,
mechanical load was calculate from composite insulator MPS catalog H2 90 10 027 MX SS 014.
Each 24-hour cycle started with one cooling period of -35 oC 5 C, followed by one heating period
of +50 oC 5C.
The test arrangement during the thermal-mechanical test on the insulator are shown in Figure 6.
As an example records of measured temperatures and mechanical tension during the thermal-

This test consisted of the following two tests:

a) Dry power frequency flashover test
Samples No. 1, 2, 3 and No. 4 REF (as a reference sample) were tested, see Figure 8. The average of
five flashover voltages on each insulator was corrected to normal standard atmospheric conditions in
accordance with IEC 60060-l, clause 4.3. The flashover voltage was obtained by increasing the
voltage linearly from zero within one minute.
The value of reference flashover voltage was obtained from insulator No. 4 REF.
The average value of the flashover voltages of insulators No. 1, 2, 3 shall be greater than or equal to
90 % of flashover voltage of the reference insulator No. 4 REF.

reference flashover voltage.
b) Dry power frequency withstand test

Each of tested insulators No. 1, 2, 3 and No. 4 REF were individually subjected for 30 minutes to
80 % of the average reference flashover voltage. The requirement is that during this test no puncture
of the insulator shall occur and the temperature rise T of the shank measured immediately after the
test shall be not more than 10 K. The temperature was measured by digital thermometer Fluke 54 II
at three points of each tested insulator (bottom, middle, upper). Then the average value was
calculated (see Table 3).

11,6 kN), mechanical load was calculate from composite insulator MPS catalog
H2 90 10 027 MX SS 014. This load was maintained for 96 hours (see Figure 9). Visual inspection of
the base end fitting was done after the test.
The base end fittings of insulators No. 1, 2, 3 were cut at 90 o to the axis of the core and about 50 mm
from the end metal fittings. The metal end fittings and the core were cut longitudinally into two
halves in the plane of the previously applied cantilever load.
The longitudinal cut sections of each insulator were subjected to dye penetration test. After the dye
penetration test the specimens were inspected. Samples are shown in Figure 10.

1.2.2 Tensile load test

Test date: 2016-04-25
The test was performed on composite insulators MPS catalog number H2 90 10 031 MX SS 016
(see Figure 2). The insulators were examined visually and their dimensions were checked against the
manufacturer's drawing.
Test was carried out according to IEC 61952, clause 10.4.2. The tests were performed on three

Pre-stressing
The surfaces of the specimens were cleaned with isopropyl-alcohol and filter-paper immediately
before the boiling. The specimens were boiled in a glass container for 100 hours in deionised water
with 0,1 % by weight of NaCl.
After boiling, the specimens were removed from the glass container and placed in another glass
container filled with tap water at ambient temperature for 15 minutes. The voltage test described in
the following clause was carried out within the next three hours.
Voltage test
Immediately before the voltage test the specimens were removed from the glass container and their
surfaces dried with filter paper.
Each specimen was placed between the test electrodes. The test voltage was increased at rate of
approximately 1 kV/sec up to 12 kV, kept at this level for one minute and then decreased to zero.
Testing arrangement is shown in Figure 15.

a) Dry power frequency flashover test
Samples No. 1, 2, 3 and No. 4 REF (as a reference sample) were tested, see Figure 7. The average of
five flashover voltages on each insulator was corrected to normal standard atmospheric conditions in
accordance with IEC 60060-l, clause 4.3. The flashover voltage was obtained by increasing the
voltage linearly from zero within one minute.
The value of reference flashover voltage was obtained from insulator No. 4 REF.
The average value of the flashover voltages of insulators No. 1, 2, 3 shall be greater than or equal to
90 % of flashover voltage of the reference insulator No. 4 REF.

reference flashover voltage.
b) Dry power frequency withstand test

Each of tested insulators No. 1, 2, 3 and No. 4 REF were individually subjected for 30 minutes to
80 % of the average reference flashover voltage. The requirement is that during this test no puncture
of the insulator shall occur and the temperature rise T of the shank measured immediately after the
test shall be not more than 10 K. The temperature was measured by digital thermometer Fluke 54 II

a mple hipment: The sample s for testing (HTV silicone (2105 Fumed silicone) had been
received from the contractor and submitted to the test without JUlY
treatment or surface protection.
Testing device: Q-SUN Xe-3HS (Q-Lab Corporation, GB) .
E>.posure cycling: Regular switching of illumination period for 102 minutes drying at (95

Light source: Xenon lamps with irradiance energy of 0 .51 W f m lf nm at 340 nm.
ample holding: The test samples were putted in testing area and the position of
samples during the test was not changed .

mea ure ment: (meet requirements of prescript CSN EN ISO 3274)
Parameters of surface texture according to CSN EN ISO 4287
(equivalent to the ISO standard):
Arithmetical mean deviation of the assessed profile (roughness) Ra,
maximum height of proftle (roughness) Rz.
Measurements were performed six times on each sample.
Standards CSN EN ISO 32 74. CSN EN ISO 4287 are not a ccredited test

TEST PROCEDURE
1. Tracking and erosion test 1000 h salt fog test

Test was carried out according to ANSI C29.17 clause 7.3.
1.1 Test procedure

Two samples of composite polymer line post insulator, drawing No. H29010020MX004
were subjected to the salt fog test in accordance with ANSI C29.17 clause 7.3.
Test specimens were cleaned with de-ionized water before starting the test.
Test was performed in a moisture-sealed corrosion-proof chamber not exceeding 15 m 3.
There was a clearance of at least 400 mm between parallel test specimens and between test
specimens and the roof, the walls and the floor.
Before commencing the test two collecting receptacles with a collection are of 7085 mm 2 and
a height of 100 mm were placed close to the position of the ends of the test objects. They
collected between 1,5 ml and 2,0 ml of precipitation per hour (corrected to 8000 mm2
collecting area) averaged over a minimum period of 16 hours.

Summary of the test:

Measured creepage distance: 545 mm
Arcing distance: 245 mm
Beginning of the test: 2013-02-19
End of the test: 2013-04-03
Starting salinity: 4 kg/m3
Finishing salinity: 4 kg/m3
Test duration : 1000 h
The average collect of precipitation was 1,58 ml/hour.
Test results are given in a table below:
Sample Test Number of
Visual examination
No.: position flashovers
no erosion occurred
no tracking occurred

A record of a test voltage during the tracking and erosion test is given in Graph 1.
Photographs of test samples before and after finishing of the test are given in Figures 2, 3, 4
and 5.

No erosion, no tracking, no puncture of shed, housing or interface were recorded on samples,
drawing No. H29010020MX004 after the tracking and erosion test. The acceptance criteria
according to ANSI C29.17, clause 7.3.1.3 were met.
Conclusion
Composite polymer line post insulator, drawing No. H29010020MX004 p a s s e d
